Mukden Incident was in the early 30s, used as an excuse by the Japanese army to take over Dongbei (Manchuria); the full-on invasion of the rest of China did not occur until some years later ('Marco Polo Bridge' Incident, outside Beijing, 1937).

Seems to me that there's not much point in coming if you haven't read the book, AND/OR have a book to propose that we read for the following meeting.

Looks like there are indeed some interesting exhibits. However, I get the impression that the focus of the museum is primarily on non-Han peoples and/or on somewhat 'exotic' practices, whereas anthropology in fact can and does include the study of any and all human cultural practices. It is often the typical behaviour and culture of 'ordinary' people, whenever and whatever that might involve, that is the least understood, perhaps because all too many of us assume that we already understand it.

But of course the Chinese state has been extremely responsible, environmentally, for banning logging in China in 1998 - since when Chinese loggers have been raping northern Myanmar.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
